Tragedy, trials, storms, floods -- these things are inevitable in life. But what it is it that allows some Christians to make it through them and end up closer to God, while others leave the faith completely on the other side? What's the key to weathering the storms of life and becoming stronger because of them? The answer may be in Luke 6. Listen to this 22nd installment of The Gospel of Luke, and we pray God draws you closer to Him as you listen.

You've probably heard this before: "Judge not, lest you be judged." It's America's favorite verse. People will quote it when it's the only verse they know in the Bible (whether they are Christians or not). But what did Jesus mean by that? Did He mean that we can't call people out on stuff? We can't correct? We can't talk about sin? If He didn't mean that and we are supposed to "judge", who are we supposed to judge and how? We pray that the Lord will increase your understanding in this area as you listen to this message on Luke 6.

Pastor Jake continues our series on The Gospel of Luke as we work through chapter six. Ever heard of the golden rule? Sure you have. It's all over the Old Testament and Jesus even quotes it in Luke 6. But He doesn't stop there. He raises the bar by saying not "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", but "do unto others as GOD has done unto you." But how does that work when we're dealing with people who have hurt us in a signicant way? Hurt, bitterness, anger -- these things are not easy to let go of! We pray God draws you closer to Him as you listen.

In the third message in this series on God's design for love, sex, and marriage (based on the book by Matt Chandler, Mingling of Souls), Pastor Jake talks about fighting the one you're with. Do you have conflict in your marriage? Arguments? Do things get heated too often? Well, you can go get a new spouse, but that won't make the conflict go away. You'll fight with them too, so eventually you'll need to learn how to "fight the one you're with" in a Godly way.

Do you believe that God intentionally made the universe in a way that brings Him great glory and us great joy? He did! Through marriage! But, what comes before marriage? Dating! Dating isn't for fun or to get 'experience"...the purpose of dating is marriage. The weight of marriage is before the wedding bells and you only get one shot. We pray you are challenged and encouraged by this message.

In order to understand a Godly marriage and unity better, we need to go back to the very beginning: Adam and Eve. We will discuss how when sin entered the world, we focused on our joy alone and neglected His Glory, how it c aused a relational breakdown that has plagued every marriage since the first one, how sin has caused "love" to lose it's meaning. Take a listen to hear why marraige vows aren't contractual, but they are covenantal! We pray God blesses you as you listen.

Have you lost your spiritual edge? God knows how to find what you didn't mean to lose! Sometimes you just need to be honest about where you lost it in the first place, and then with God's help, take back what you lost.

Do you feel like you don't have everything you want? Do you feel like you are ill-equipped to do the work of the Lord? Are you ready to stop waiting for what you want and start working with what you have? Are you willing to offer God what you have and trust Him to give you what we need and reach out to those close to you for help.
